clarities | Fourteenth File.

[ Action: Mayfield High. ]

[ Well, after things have been pretty much completed in her lab, Diana has taken the initiative to make a small cubby hole in the corner of a library and is pretty much sleeping in it. Now that her projects are done, she can finally let herself sit back and relax for once. There's a book over her face to block out the light and possibly the sounds too. Other than that, she actually looks peaceful for once. Do you wish to wake her up from this? ]

[ Though, if the library isn't your thing, later on she can be found in the music room by the piano and is playing Beethoven's Fur Elise just to warm herself up. She plans on spending quite a bit of time here just to unwind and relax even further. The door is open to hear this music playing. ]

[ Action: John Doe Park ]

[ To continue in her relaxation, Diana's taken to sitting under a tree and has her eyes closed. It appears as if she's meditating to help clear her mind. The quiet sounds of nature and the sounds of animals moving around ease her even more. Sure, she knows that her guard may be down, but she's diligent to open her eyes if anyone approaches her. ]

[ Phone | Filtered to custodismundi ]

Hey, Abel. Do you mind holding another lesson? This time, I want to try something a bit more difficult.

[ Phone | Filtered to princeofjunes ]

Mr. Yosuke, the stage is finished. When do you want me to deliver it?

[ Phone | Filtered to canhasfuhrer ]

Mr. Mustang, I've finished your gloves. When do you want me to deliver them?

[[The coyote pauses at that. Oh, that rabbit is now long gone.

He watched her a moment... then tries to fake a bark. See... totally a dog.]]

[ No, you are a coyote. Do not argue with the walking library. ]

...Yeah, no. Not impressive. Good try, though.

[[Well, it was worth a shot. Glancing around, yep, his rabbit is gone.

Maybe another time, one of these days he plans to out run it.

Looking back to her, he just walks on over.]]

[ The behavior makes Diana grin a bit. ]

Do you have a name?

[[He bobs his head, trying to nod as a coyote. Still not sure if it looks right.

Wait, some people understand animals. Lucas does. So he tries a few yip like sounds. Trying to say his name is Aaron.

Of course, if you don't speak coyote, it just sounds like yips.]]

[ Well, that does a load of nothing for her right now. ]

I'm sorry...? I didn't quite catch that.

[[Well, it was worth a shot.

He shakes his head. There is no good way to change right now, so he's pretty stuck with the communication barrier.

Yes or no questions he can do.]]

[ Honestly, who does she have to tell?

But, she appreciates the challenge and honestly, it's nice to do something so completely out of the norm. ]

Do you live here? [ She means the park, not Mayfield, since that's pretty obvious anyway. ]

[[It's not a pretty sight and Aaron is still way too awkward about it.

He shakes his head at that question.]]

[ That's a good thing. ]

So, are you someone's pet, then?

[[Shakes his head.

Not sure what Ai would call him, but he's not going to call himself a pet.]]

You're just allowed to roam as you please? That's nice.

[[Nods at that. Then, in a way of trying to explain, he paws at the ground.

Digging a little, making one line, than another. He digs three more and a circle before he is done.

Making a stick figure of a person.]]

[ She inches closer to see the sketch on the ground and tries to put two and two together. ]

...Are you trying to tell me you're a person instead of a full-fledged coyote?

[[He nods his head again.

Sitting down and looking pleased with himself, breaking the language barrier.]]

Can you shapeshift for me?

[[Shakes his head.

Thinking of how to explain it, he begins digging lines again.

This time spelling a word, it takes longer.]]

N - A - K - E

[ Diana doesn't need to have him spell it out. She merely nods and decides to drop it for now. ]

I apologize about the language barrier, then.

[[Stops digging and bobs that head in a nod.

That's the biggest challenge.

Out of the corner of his eye, a grasshopper jumps.

He quickly pounces.]]

[ ...Well, she can certainly see why.

She notices the grasshopper he's chasing after and merely shakes her head in amusement. ]

[[Blinks, realizes he just pounced something and tries to lay down and look innocent.]]

[ Diana lightly chuckles and shakes her head. ]

It's fine.

[[Not sure if he wants to be the thing that pounces and chases bugs, he still lets the grasshopper go.

Moving back to his words, he messes up part of the word he was making and replaces a letter to spell out a new world.]]

N-A-M-E

[[Making a question mark was a lot harder with paws he realized.]]
